Cover and inside illustrations for the catalan edition of 'Binti', a novella trilogy that combines science-fiction, African culture and mathematical concepts. Written by Nnedi Okorafor, author of African-based science fiction and fantasy (Africanfuturism and Africanjujuism).
Published by Raig Verd Editorial. Art direction and graphic design by Tono Cristòfol.
Binti is a young Himba girl and the first member of the tribe to be accepted into the prestigious intergalactic university Oomza Uni. She escapes in the first spaceship going out of the planet, defying her family and traditions, but the ship is hijacked by the Meduse, a jellyfish-like alien species.
I wanted to show the evolution of the character throughout the three novels using the pose, color and geometrical background as a representation of her empowerment.
